I agree that “ethical buying is just as part of Christian living as is caring and loving others.” In practice, though, I think the emphasis should be on where we spend our money, not where we don’t spend our money.

Show support instead of the opposite.

P. S. We had quite a discussing on this topic before I moved the blog and lost all the comments on this post. Needless to say, you’re not the only one disagreeing with me on this point.

I agree with you in some ways, but I do believe that boycotts do work. We CAN vote with our wallets, and every vote is important. Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water. In response to your quiz, I think we should be doing both of the things we suggested. Ignorance is not bliss, and big companies should not be allowed to get away with what they can just because they are big.
Ethical buying is just a part of Christian living as is caring & loving others, in fact it is caring & loving others. I suggest you read “Everyday Justice” by Julie Clawson.

Funny… so did I. Actually, I had quite a few things in mind, but alas, it defeats the purpose of the post if I mention them all. :>)
